This is a very quick hello. I'm in India and thriving. It's hot as hell hear and it's all I can do to stay hydrated. I've only been ripped off twice. After getting off the plane a sneaky government taxi official convinced me that i gave him a 100 ruppee bill instead of the 500. i'm sure he does this to all tourists. someone should take him out back and shoot him. I also purchased water that both Lila and I are convinced was a refilled bottle despite the plastic covering. needless to say we didn't drink it. the moral of the story is that your hotel is your friend and the rest of the world is trying to rip you off. The other moral of the story is that it is best to hire a rickshaw, auto-rickshaw or a driver to take you around. it's all the rage and makes everthing possible. Finally, I give my heart felt thanks to the person who invented air conditioning. When the days are above 40 and the nights not much cooler, it's a life saver.
I've toured New Delhi, checked out some bazaars and am now in Amritsar which is close to the pakistani border. Today we'll go to the border to see the changing of the guards and then check out the Golden Temple which is Sikh holy place.
Namaste.

Hey! Looks like you're having the adventure you wanted, so good for you. We miss you here. Dave and I can only write so much in a day to each other. We missed you at vball too... although I guess that is a more permanent situation.
Have a great time! Sarah
